WARNING: ALWAYS INSPECT SCOOTER PRIOR TO RIDING. Properly
inspecting and maintaining your scooter can reduce the risk of injury. Always inspect your
scooter before riding and regularly maintain it.
WARNING: REGARDING USE OF NON-RAZOR PRODUCTS WITH YOUR
RAZOR SCOOTER. Your scooter has been built to Razor’s design specifications. All the
original equipment supplied at the time of sale were selected on the basis of their
compatibility with the frame, fork and all other parts. Certain after-market products may or
may not be compatible with your Razor scooter. Consult your retailer or call Razor prior to
modifying or replacing any component with a non-factory specified product.
WARNING: CHECK LOCAL LAWS REGARDING SCOOTER USE. Check local
laws and regulations to see where and how you may use your Razor scooter legally. In
many states and local areas scooter riders are required BY LAW to wear a helmet. Check
local laws and regulations regarding laws governing helmet use and scooter operation in
your area.

2. Unfolding the Razor for First-Time Use
A. Insert and secure the left and right handlebars by pressing the spring-loaded buttons and
inserting them into the T-tube (Figure 1). Make certain the spring-loaded button engages the hole
in the T-bar for each handlebar (Figure 2).
Figure 1 Figure 2
WARNING: Failure to properly engage the spring-loaded buttons may cause the
handlebars to dislodge while riding and may cause you to lose control and fall. When correctly
engaged the handlebars will not rotate nor will they move sideways. Note that when properly
engaged, the spring-loaded buttons are clearly visible in the holes on the T-tube (Figure 2).
B.To release the folding mechanism, grasp the T-tube with one hand between the collar clamp
and the quick-release clamp and, with the other hand, rotate the Joint lever (Figure 3.) to
release the steering column from the locked position and allow you to pivot it to the upright
position. The Joint lever is spring-loaded and will automatically lock in the upright position when
fully upright (Figure 4).
Figure 3 Figure 4
WARNING: Keep your fingers clear of the pivoting mechanism when folding or
unfolding the scooter. Make sure others are standing clear.
C. To adjust the height of the handlebars, unlock the steering tube by pulling outward on
the quick-release lever. Slide the T-tube to the desired position and secure by pushing
inward on the quick release clamp (Figure 5 and 5a). The tension of the quick-release
clamping mechanism can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the Allen bolt. Be careful
not to over-tighten. You should always be able to open and close the quick-release lever
by hand and the T-tube should telescope freely with the quick-release open.
Figure 5 Figure 5a
WARNING: Failure to properly engage the quick-release clamp may cause the T-
tube to telescope up or down while riding which may cause you to lose control and fall.
With the quick-release properly adjusted and engaged, the handlebars will not move up or
down.
3. Check Before Riding
A. Collar Clamp. Using the correct size Allen wrench, check that the collar clamp bolt
(Figure 6) is tightened securely (30 to 60 inch-pounds torque). This item is tightened and
quality-inspected at the factory, but there is a slight chance that the effects of shipping or
handling may have caused this bolt to loosen.
Figure 6
B. Baseboard/Steering Column Adjusting Screw(s). Using an Allen wrench
and with the scooter in the upright and locked position (figure 7), adjust the set screw at

76
the baseboard until there is no free-play between the baseboard and the steering column.
Be careful not to over-tighten this screw as it needs only be snug against the steering
column. Verify the adjustment by releasing the steering column from the locked position
and folding the scooter. The locking lever should not bind and the folding movement
should be smooth. The spring-loaded mechanism should automatically lock and be fully
seated in the upright position.
Figure 7
WARNING: Keep your fingers clear of the pivoting mechanism when folding or
unfolding the scooter.
4. Wheels and Bearings
Under normal circumstances and conditions, Razor wheels and wheel bearings are
maintenance free. Nonetheless, it is the responsibility of the owner or guardian to
periodically inspect the wheels for wear and tear, the axle for proper tightness, and
bearings for side-to-side play and loose parts.
When a wheel or wheel bearing develops play, this is an indication of excess wear and
replacement is necessary. Replace immediately with only genuine Razor wheels.
Worn tires/wheels/bearings are considered normal wear-and-tear and are not covered by
the Razor Limited Warranty. Wheels other than genuine Razor wheels may not be
compatible with your Razor scooter. The use of anything other than genuine Razor
replacement parts may affect your safety.
5. Cleaning Your Razor
Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
Do not use industrial cleaners or solvents as they may damage the surfaces. Do not use
alcohol, alcohol-based or ammonia-based cleaners as they may damage or dissolve the
plastic components or soften the decals or decal adhesive.
6. How to Ride
Place one foot on the baseboard, push forward with the other foot. Steer.
For enhanced cornering, lean slightly into the direction of the turn.
For controlled stops, apply the brake by stepping on the rear fender/brake. Razor
recommends that you practice applying the brake at various speeds and in an open area
free from obstructions before riding your Razor around others.
WARNING: Wheelies and other stunt-type riding reduces your ability maneuver and
control your scooter. Take the necessary precautions, such as wearing appropriate
protective gear and practice in a area safe for stunt riding and free from obstructions.
7. Razor Safety Tips
